@@Aatrixian But the R32s and R46s have been fine-performing trains and would perform even better under a full overhaul. Obviously these cars can't run forever like we would like to fantasise but I feel that at least the lifespan of the R32s was cut short. They were supposed to be running through 2022. Also back in 2008, they were originally supposed to completely overhaul them like they did in the '80s in order to make them last until 2038 but decided to buy the R179 as a sixty foot car instead of the original seventy-five foot plan so that it could replace the R32.

@TheRailLeaguer 3 жыл бұрын

@@blakemcnamara9105 Correction: the R32 and R46 cars are worst performing cars. Also complete overhaul of old non-CBTC compatible cars (which was not considered in 2008) is totally expensive compared to buying new train cars, considering that every other transit system is also upgrading their old fleet by buying new train cars. If the nations capital of Washington DC can procure 748 new NTT train cars (which actually look like the NYC R160s) to replace over half of its fleet, then NYC has no problems ordering 1100+ cars to replace over 1/6th of the entire fleet.

@@blakemcnamara9105 I hate these new cars. They are not worthy of being called "subway cars". But I felt the same way when I was a kid and the R32's first came into service. Back then I hated the R32's. They were too new and too bright, shiny, clean and quiet for me. In those days I only wanted to see and/or ride on older cars like the R1's, through R16's, Low-V's and BMT D Type (Triplex) cars running. It took a few decades but I eventually came to accept the R32's and eventually I came around to liking them. These days they are among my favorites. I highly respect the R32. Perhaps the same will follow with these R211's. Who knows, over the next two or three decades I may actually come to like the R211's. Case and point. I already like the R160s even though I despised them when they first hit the rails.

Maybe one day some R211 models will make it to Los Angeles for the Los Angeles Metro Rail Red and Purple lines. We do have a subway train in Los Angeles but not as big as you guys in New York City of course. We only have 2 rail lines.

The R211s were custom ordered for the NYC Subway. Each rail system is different so if LA wants new subway cars, they will have to get brand new cars that are customized to their specifications.

Do these cars have a walk-thru doorless passageway between cars, as in the prototype? It looks like the width of the opening on the ends is not that wide.

Not these cars. Those open gangway trains will be coming in later.

They’re not gonna sound like M8s. These have Alstom Optonix propulsion which the M8s do not have. Also Lirr M8s?!!! Lirr never ran any M8s, only M7s and M9s!

The R-46 to today's kids is like what the R-9s were for me as a kid. But the R-9 designs seemed much more old fashioned compared to the R-32s to 46s in the 70s, it was hard to imagine a time when they ever looked modern and new. The R-46 design by contrast still seems to reflect a modern futuristic feel.

@AaronKungFaux 3 жыл бұрын

It's tape and I think it's used for keeping the R211 cars in good shape so the parts won't fall apart, that's my opinion but I think that's what they do.
